Hi All,


I want to create a command that executes a text editor with the most recent file in the current current directory.

So a good start to achieve this is :

ls -lrt | cut -c55- | tail -1

which provides the name of the most recent file in a directory

The problem is to pipe the result of this command with the text editor command (suppose dtpad).

So my question is : does it exist a way to make something like

ls -lrt | cut -c55- | tail -1 | dtpad XXXX

where XXXX is a variable or a command to force the dtpad command to take as parameter the result of the pipe


Thanks by advance,
Nicolas.
